<p>If you are looking at environmental studies/sciences, Emory, WashU, and Duke offer excellent programs in these fields. Emory is slightly easier to get into than Dartmouth and Cornell (28% admit rate this past year), but Duke and WashU are just as hard to get into as both of these schools.</p>
<p>As for public schools, I know Ohio State offers a great program in environmental science as well.</p>
<p>A lot of the top rated LACs offer the best programs in Ecology and Natural Resources and Conservation. This question on the best “environmental programs” has been addressed a lot already on CC, so I suggest you click “search the forum” under the “College Search and Selection” forum to find the other threads.</p>
